Battle.Net Bans & Policy Change

[Nov 12, 2008, 09:40 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Battle.net announces a policy change for Blizzard's online service, saying they've identified and closed over 350,000 accounts for using third-party hacks to cheat at Diablo II and StarCraft II. They have long had a policy of banning accounts for cheating, but the new twist is that the CD keys associated with those counts have also been restricted from playing on Battle.net for approximately one month, and repeat offenders risk having their CD keys banned permanently. In conclusion, they state: "Cheating ruins the game experience for legitimate players, and we will not tolerate it." Thanks GamesIndustry.biz.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm also playing since day 1. Always SC (HC would not only get my char killed but me too! ) and I never found a Jah, neither a Ber, Sur, Lo but I think I found a Ohm or a Vex once. Over 1000 hours of play.

I hope this is normal or I'm simply unlucky... of course I've seen many games name with high runes in it so cheat or luck, I don't know..
